you can block troublesome members when they try to IM or site mail you-

if the 'jurk' is IMing you, put your mouse cursor over his picture. there'll be an option to "block". click that and *poof!* he's blocked.

if he's site mailing you, look for a rectangular-ish button saying "block". click on that and *poof!* he's blocked on that, too.

unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option where you can just globally block the fella. or at least i don't think there is.

That is good advice (thanks, moofooga), so just let me jump in to make a couple of points:

The "block" button is now a link contained within the mail.

There is indeed no way to globally block an account, if by "globally" one means a preemptive block.

Where is the suggestion area???

There is a problem when you can't block people from your profile.

If the only way is to do it through a email or IM that is not effective.

I don't particularly care for random viewers with no pics constantly on my page.. It is the same people... over and over.

If the block was accessible I'd feel at least in some control of my own profile.

If not I will have to remove everything.

I am taking all my pics down tonight.

party on!

You can post suggestions in the Feedback forum just above this one, Cali66.

As for preemptive blocks, we're not sure that we want to go in that direction. It has been brought up before, though, and we won't rule it out completely.

you chose to put a profile on a free public site so naturally people will be viewing your profile rather you like it or not

my suggestion would be to just ignore it because they are not causing you any harm in just viewing your profile

I believe as long as you allow faceless people to roam around without restrictions it would seem only reasonable the options you would give your members would be more substantial.

A community site where you put up your own profile, pics and information should have those settings to allow you basic freedoms of comfortability.
Maybe more would be more willing to post pictures if they had more setting options.
